Middle East peace in tatters as 14 die in wave of attacks
Sat 16 Jul 2005

THE five-month-old Middle East ceasefire appeared to be unravelling as Israeli strikes on a van filled with rockets and a West Bank hideout killed six Hamas militants.

The attacks came after a Palestinian rocket barrage on an Israeli town and a suicide bombing that killed six.

In an effort to stop the rocket fire, Palestinian police fought Hamas gunmen in a daylight gun battle in the streets of Gaza City that left two teenagers dead and 25 others wounded in the worst Palestinian infighting in recent years.

The violence threatened to intensify. Israeli troops massed at two makeshift camps outside Gaza, and defence minister Shaul Mofaz told army commanders last night to plan for a ground operation.

Hamas threatened revenge against Israel for the air strikes, which appeared to signal Israel's resumption of targeted killings of Hamas leaders.
